My gut reaction was also positive, but then I realised I miss being able to see what comments the community finds valuable. Ordering within a thread as a measure of value only works if there are multiple child comments for a particular comment. Sometimes people post long, multi-paragraph comments. Seeing a comment like that at 2 points makes me less inclined to read it than if it were at 30 points. Not being able to see points will make skimming comments slower.
